I looked on the archieves 1st and could not find anything. I was thinking of using a 2 pond test mono line.

I sew all visible areas with clear monofilament thread that I get at a craft store. I use a baseball stitch. Put a lot of Epo-Grip in that area or it could pull out when drying. Mabey some of the pro's can tell you about the cape tape stuff. I hear great things but never used it yet.
god bless
Its your choice I use dacron bow string.
The best thread I have found is a nylon thread #2040. It comes in a 4oz. cone from Van Dykes. Thin, won't unravel and very strong.
Sorry but forgot the 2nd part........baseball stitch.
I use a small diameter spider wire and use a hidden stich in short hair areas/ baseball stitch if there is longer hair

seems to be the best. Get the one that does not have any stretch to it as it holds the seam better. I usually use the 6 lbs test. Seems to work great.
And on split briskets I sew them from the fleshside with a lockstitch to where I tie off every second stitch. Makes the seam invisible.
I prefer the latter since I have 5000 yards of it in 30 and 14 pound test. Use the 14 and wrap stitch from the skin side. You'll never see it.
